He pointed out the true piness to man. He ex- o0 iook above the petty 4 to the kingdom of God Aimighty. Despite the fact that the meeting had been very little advertised, it proved to be one of the most successful held during an life, which he declared | the present convention, and the leaders| were greatly encouraged by it. | | { LUSY MEN OF TRADE HEAR THE WORD OF GOD| Services Are Held in Palace Hotel | Courtyard for Benefit of Mer- chants. Both in point of attendance and in en- thusiasm and zeal displayed, the praye: meeting which was held yesterday at noon by the Epworth Leaguers under the shade | of the gigantic palm tree in the court- | vard of the Palace Hotel excelled the gathering which took place on the pre- | ceding day. The meeting, which was spe- | cially for business men who could not neglect their work to attend the conven: tion, was conducted by H. M. Du Bos general secretary of the Epworth Leagu Secretary Du Bose, who is a very force: ful speaker, addressed the assemblage in a plain, business manner, as pne man of business speaks to another. The meeting was fittingly opened with prayer, after which Messrs. Kirby and Turk of Toronto, Canada, rendered sev- eral duets. They also acted as leaders of the psalm singing in which the as- semblage joined. ~ Besides the business men more than 190 leaguers in their white caps were present and added a ple- turesque {inge to the ceremony. Secretary Du Bose selected for his theme ““Christian Religion as a Life,” and described how man might practice and live up to the precept of a pure religion and all who are obliged to eat irregu- larly and put up with all sorts of food, cooked in all sorts of ways, can keep perfect digestion by the regular use of Stuart’ Dyspepsia - Tahlets Every Man Must Be That to Retain His Health and Digestion. ” Thers are thousands of people in this world who eat nomeat from one year's end to another, and certain savage tribes in Af- rica and Polynasia sre almost exclusively meat eaters; but while there are thousands of these, there are millions who live upon a mixed diet of meat, vegetables and grains and 1If num- bers is & criterion it would seem that a2 mixed diet is the best for the human family. The fact that you will find many vegetarians who appear healthy and vigorous and many meat eaters equally 5o, and any number of robust specimens who eat both meat and vegotables 2nd anything else that comes their way all goes to show that the old saw is the true one, that every man must be a law to himself as to what ho shall eat and drink. To repair the waste of tissue in brain workers as well 23 to 1 replace the muscle and sinew of the laborer, can only be done through the process of digestion. Every nerve, muscie, sinew, every dropof blood s extracted from the food we eat and digest. In these days of hustle and worry, and artificial habits of 1ife, scarcely one person in & thousand can lay claim to aper- fect digestion; dyspepsia is a national affliction and Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets a national blessing. Most cases of poor digestion are caused by fallure of the stomach to secrete sufficlent gastric juice, or too little Hydro- ehloricacid and lack of peptones and allof these important es- sentials to perfect digestion are found in Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets in convenlent palatable form. One or two of these tablets taken after meals Insure perfect @igestion and assimilation of the food. (Cathartic pills and laxative medicines have no effect what- ever in digesting food and to call such remedies a cure for ayspepsia is far fetched and absurd. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets contaln pepsin free from animal matter, diastase and other digestives, and not only digest all wholesome food but tend to increase the flow of gastrie juices and by giving the weak stomach a much needed rest bring about & healthy condition of the digestive organs and a normal ap- | petite. Mr. B. W. Wincherdon, a commercial traveler from Birm- ® iogham, whose business keeps bim almost constantly on the 8 road, relates in the Sunday News the dangers to health result- = ing from constant change of residence and the way he over- came the usual injurious effects. 3 hoveless dyspeptic. fect digestion.’ He says: *One thing people travellng cannot very well avoid L] is the constant change in water and food; the stomach never B has an opportunity to become accustomed to anything and ina few years or much sooner the sverage traveling man becomes “For several years I suffered more or less from iadigestion, sour stomach, headaches, distaste for food, often no appetite, gas on the stomach and the usual unpleasant eflects of imper- Searly every traveling man has his favorite remedy for dif- ferent troubles and I tried all of them with Indifferent results. Finally on the train between Pittsburg and Philadelphia one day, 1 overheard a conversation between two ladies, one of whom had suffered severely from indigestion and stated she had been completely cured by a remedy which she called Btuart's Dyspepsia Tablets; I rersembered the comversation lows: Bchool worker and St. Louis, Mo., says: but have had a great the lining membrane because 1t directly interested me; and at the next townIin, 4 quired at the first drug store and bought a package for fifty 7 cents, and from that day to this I have never been without i them. They are pleasant tasting tablets, not a secret patent medicine but composed of vegetable essences, pure pepsin, fruit salts and Golden Seal; being In tablet form they never fose thelr good qualities like a liquid medicine would, but arealways fresh and ready for use. “I carry a box In my pocket continually, and whenever I see any symptoms of indigestion I take one, 2lso une after each meal, and for a year and a half I have not lost a day by reason of poor health and can eat anything and relish what I eat; my digestion 1s absolutely perfect as far as I can judge from my fe=lings and although there may be other stomach medicines just as good as Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets, I do not know what they are.. Certainly for people who travel they are far ahead of any liquid medicine, as they are so convenient, they can be carried In the pocket and used whenever needed.” + The Rev. F. I. Bell, & highly esteemed minister residing In ‘Weedsport, Cayuga Co., N. “There has never been anything that I have taken that has relleved the dyspepsia from which I have suffered for ten years except the new remedy.called Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets, Since taking them I have had no distress at all after eating and again after long years OAN SLEEP WELL. Rev. F.I. Bell, ‘Weedsport, N. Y., formerly Idalia, Colo.” Mr. Judson A.

Medieal authorities prescribed for me for three years for catarrh of stomach without cure, but to-day I am the happlest of men after using only one box of Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets, I cannot find appropriate words to express my good feeling. I have found flesh, appetite and sound rest from their use.” Nervous, thin-blooded, run-down people should bear in mind that drugs and stimulants cannot furnish good blood, strong muscles and steady nerves; these come only from whole- some food, thoroughly digested; a fifty cent box of Stuart's Tablets taken afier meals for a few weeks will do you more real good than drugs, stimulants and dieting combined.” Btuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets is probably the safest, most pop- ular and successtul digestive on the market and sold by druggists everywhere in the United States, Canada and Great Britain.

He exhorted his hearers to be guided in their business transactions by morality and justice, and he promised them that in so doing they would be rewarded with treasure of a more permanent nature than the vain transitory goods of this world. The meeting was brought to an appro- priate conclusion by prayer and the sing- ing of a sacred song by the Leaguers, as- sisted by the business men, many of whom jdined with a will. DR. BUCKLEY SPEAKS TO STREET GATHERING Despite Chilling Fog Noon IMeeting in Van Ness Avenue Is Well Attended. A wind from the ocean, cold enough to make walking more comfortable, was not conducive to a big outdoor audience on Van Ness-avenue yesterday at the noon meeting. However, a goodly audience gathered between McAllister street and Golden Gate avenue to hear Rev. Mr. Buckley. J. J. Morris led the congrega- tional singing, which was heartily joined in_by those present. =~ . Rev. L. J. Norton of Napa presided and Rev. Mr. Scale of Seattle led in prayer, asking God's blessing upon the residents of the avenue, the police detailed for duty and the convention work. Dr. Buckley spoke from the steps of the residence of Mrs. L. Jonas at 517 Van Ness avenue instead of from the platform on the sidewalk in front of the house. He said in part: 1 want to call your attention to some common points of belief of all people. The Jew, the Catholic and the Protestant all believe in the same God. Go into any of their churches and ask them of their God and they will tell you the same. I talked to a Catholic priest un hour and a quarter on points on which we agreed be- fore, we disagreed. Some say that the Christians are all divided. So is our country on the eve of our elections. Afterward they are all patriots. So will these Christians be Lereafter. 1 want you all to get some kind of a_good religion. 1 don't care whether you are a Meth- odlst or not, if you are saved. I spend my time getting men corverted and then they can join any church they want to. Dr. Buckley concluded his remarks with prayer. He used many quaint and amus- ing ‘anecdotes to illustrate his points. Rev. John H. Coleman of Troy, N. Y., closed the meeting with benediction. “ Harry Morton of San Jose, the chair- man of the meeting; 1. E. Blake, musical director, and Rev. T. Alonzo Monk, D. D., of Knoxville, Tenn., the speaker, were on time promptly at the stand on the avenue, between Hayes and Fell streets, but no audience or singers put in an appearence. 0 R o FRUITFUL * SESSIONS, Continued From Page Fourteen. should antedate the problem, ‘‘an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.”” The facts demand better parents and homes; com- pulsory education with ethical training; that the children be taught to work; the total de- struction of the drink curse; and for new of- fenders apartments separate from the vicious and the pastmaster in crime. For the criminal no treatment is adequate or Christian which does not contemplate his reformation. Make him a new man. That will suppress crime and protect soclety. That is Christian. Nothing less will do. But how? Treat him as a brotter. Appeal to his honor. Quicken his moral sense. Avoid any punish- ment which incites revenge or lower manhood. Reward him for well-doing and demerit him for wrong-doing. Let the sentence be indeter- minate in order to insure time for reform and to release him when ‘practicable. Teach his fingers skill in the industrial arts. Work saves. Pay him tor his toil. To have, strengthens mnanhood. Cultivate his mental powers. Equip him with might to conquer. Lay hold on him by love. Lead him to Christ. Fortify him against the evil day by enriching mind and heart with Christian literature. Care for him at the outer gate. The world is suspicious and sometimes cold. Show him Kkindness. Be his patron. Hold him up. Great will be your re- ward in heaven. ] A round table conference occupied the attention of the leaguers for two hours, various topics of interest to Christian workers being discussed by speakers in all parts of the house. The session was a highly Interesting one. Charter Conference. There was a largely attended confer- ence of chapters’ officers at the Central Methodist Church yesterday morning. Everg‘ri p!ae of league work was dis- D! in cusse and con, the result being a highly restin; Providence, session. reasurer of a chapter at er, I, presided. The song | 3 service was conducted by W. C. Stadtfehé. L and the devotions by the Rev. S. H. Burgin of Butte, Mont." The opening address was by the Rev. W. F. Lloyd of Louisville, Ky., who spoke on'the subject, “The President.”” He argued that the presidents of league chapters should be animated by Christian zeal in the performance of their duties, and that their example for members should be of that character which inspires emulation, respect and confidence. George E. Dougherty of Topeka, Kans., delivered an interesting address on the | subject of “The Chapteér Secretary.” He said in part: The prevalling idea that any one will do for secretary Is a lamentable mistake. If there | were only one office for which the league could | find a perfect fit, it should be hoped that such a fit could be fourd for the office of secretary. The secretary should be an earnest, conse- crated, faithful Christian; should possess all the special qualifications needed for other de- rartments, and, in addition, be a good letter writer, have exacting habits of promptness, be intensely interested in the league and welfare of those about hitm, and should be able to train others to do the work. The secretary has the opportunity to do more than any other officer to make the league a power in building up Christian character among those coming within its influence. Meeting of Cabinets. Rev. Charles Lyman Nye of Creston. Ia., next spoke on the theme, ‘‘The Cab- inet Meeting.” He said in substance: Every other department of the league work has been treated with prodigal fullness in our league publications, but the cabinet meeting has been seemingly neglected. I have searched through papers, books and reports concerning the cabinet meeting. And yvet no department of the icague offers more opportunities for ef- fective resuit upon the whole league life than this one. The President of the United States convenes his Cabinet daily and considers the advice and suggestions there received as abso- lutely essential to the wise conduct of the af- fairs of state. No less will the wise Epworth League president consider the work of the Epworth League gabinet. It is absolutely es- sential to the wise and harmonious working of the departments. If neglected, the league is jn danger of becoming a ‘“‘one man'’ organi- zation; or of running off to one line of Christlan service to the neglect of others; or.of getting into ruts and never discovering ‘that it is in them. Hence the necessity and utility of the cabinet meeting. The success of the local league depends al- “ost entirely upon the work of the cabinet. e believe this to be literally and universally true. If our learues are in any place inefective ; and demoralized it almost without excep- fion, the fault of the cabinet. The cabinet is the prezident’s throne and right arm of power. The wise president will use It constantly and wis=ly. He will call out the advice of every department head. He will consult the pastor on every vital point. He will eubmit every plan of importance to the wisdom of the cabi- net. He will wisely seek to control the cabinet, for he i3 the president. With a wise president the cabinet meeting will not be dry in detail and parfunctory in ils deliberations, but will be intensely interesting in the considerations of new nlan: L Several speakers who were to deliver addres failing to appear, the discussion became general, and many of those pres- ent took part in the debate. The meeting closed with . benediction -pronounced by Rev. Mr. Nve. It's as difficult for a man to keep a diary as it is for a woman to keep a point on a pencil.

It is so weak, so §lacking in stamina that there is no vantage ground of help. e One of the results of the use of Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription pre- ceeding maternity is a strong, healthy child. Thousands of methers testify to this. Frequently mothers write, I was never able to raise a child before using“ Favorite Pre- scription,” or "All 'my other children are ‘sickly except this one, and I took your ‘Favorite Prescription’ this time.” All the child’s strength comes from the mother. “Favorite Prescription ” gives the mother strength to give her child. There is no alcohol in “Favorite Pre- scription ;” it contains neither opium, co- caine, nor any other narcotic. It is a purely vegetable and perfectly harmless medicine in any condition of the female system. Accept no substitute for "Favorite Pre- scription.” There is nothing “just as good * for woman’s ills.
